- However, doubts arise regarding the $450 price point and potential game costs reaching $80, leading to skepticism.
- Concerns about the Switch 2 lacking an OLED screen despite its predecessor having one, especially for last-gen game upgrades that might incur additional charges.
- The author hoped for enhancements to Zelda titles and Metroid Dread, but worries about the LCD screen and possible upgrade fees impacting their experience.
- The issue of high-priced games, potential use of Game-Key Cards, and ephemeral physical-digital distribution methods raise criticism about the console's gaming ecosystem.
- Unease about the Switch 2's use of DLSS technology, concerns over graphics performance, and doubts about the console's battery life compared to PC gaming experiences are highlighted.
- Worries about potential overpromising of performance on portable hardware akin to the Steam Deck and doubts regarding backwards compatibility with over 120 original Switch games facing issues on Switch 2.
- The author expresses reservations about the lack of universal backwards compatibility and the potential inconvenience of verifying game compatibility for each title on the new console.
- Flashbacks to past console compatibility issues like Xbox 360 are mentioned, and overall, hesitation is expressed towards investing in the Switch 2 despite anticipated releases like Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4.
